Gladiator style events for a birthday?

[Pulsedriver]

Hey folks,

Bit of a silly one I know, but I just wondered, it's coming up to my birthday soon, is there any type of place where I can battle against a friend gladiator style?
Not with real swords obviously

But you know like some sort of arena, bash each other with the poles until one falls off onto a mat / bouncy floor etc

Challenges vs each other etc!

Its immature, stupid, but a great idea for a joint birthday!

Sounds like a gay bar

I could have worded it slightly better!

I know what you mean, there are some places that hire lots of things like what you want, but not sure if anywhere does it as a venue.

Not quite what you're looking for but quite good fun none the less. Inflatable costumes, water and bouncy castles, penguin costume wrestling

Yes, OCUK at its best.

There's a place in Rome. Not be used for a while though...

Try bouncey castle hire places, we've got some from there for events before.

PK!

Joust for fun or run a mini-gladiator competition!
Battle it out on our giant inflatable Gladiator crash bed!
Look like a real Gladiator with your protective headgear and giant inflatable pugle sticks.
Gladiators can be enjoyed by both children and adults.

New for 2010 a fresh alternative to a Gladiator duel, try and knock your opponent off the slippery pole, bashing them with a giant soft pillow.

This is great for parties and corporate days out, kids and adults alike.
You can be Mike Tyson for 5 minutes whilst trying to floor your opponent with these giant oversized glove

Well they could make it fancy dress too I guess. Not sure I'd want to duel whilst wearing a toga though....

PK!

From the desription, I was thinking more along the lines of Oliver Reed in Women in Love rather than Gladiator!!!
